Abstract
ONE of the more hopeful signs, indicating the approach of an age in which knowledge and power are more closely and harmoniously related, is the reception afforded to the various summaries or outlines of modern knowledge which have appeared in recent years. The publication in separate parts of eleven of the essays by acknowledged authorities which formerly appeared as a composite book under the title “n Outline of Modern Knowledge” is evidence of this demand and the publishers are to be congratulated on the step they have taken in place of issuing a new edition of the composite work.
